Conjuring Soundtrack: Composers, Songs and Tracklist

Four composers have scored the Conjuring films: Joseph Bishara, Benjamin Wallfisch, Abel Korzeniowski and Marco Beltrami. Bishara wrote the music for six of the ten films, which makes him the composer most closely tied to the saga, and every score has had an album release.

Bishara scored The Conjuring (2013), Annabelle (2014), The Conjuring 2 (2016), The Curse of La Llorona (2019), Annabelle Comes Home (2019) and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021). His albums run as follows:

• "The Conjuring (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)", La-La Land Records, July 16, 2013. Cues include "Dead Birds", "Clap Game", "Witch Perch" and "Touring Haunted Planes".
• "Annabelle (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)", September 30, 2014, with "Annabelle Opening", "Cult Killings" and "Doll Disposal".
• "The Conjuring 2 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)", WaterTower Music, June 3, 2016, with "Enfield Opening", "Nun Painting" and "Old Man Bill".
• "The Curse of La Llorona (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)", WaterTower Music, April 12, 2019, with "Curandero" and "Corner Weeping".
• "Annabelle Comes Home (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)", WaterTower Music, June 21, 2019, with "Doll Opening" and "Artifact Room".
• "The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)", WaterTower Music, May 28, 2021, with "Devil Opening" and "Witch totem".

Benjamin Wallfisch scored two films. His album "Annabelle: Creation" came out on WaterTower Music on August 4, 2017, and includes "The Mullins Family", "Bee's Room" and "Annabelle Awakened". He returned for The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025), whose album "The Conjuring: Last Rites (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)" was released by WaterTower Music on August 29, 2025, with "Judy Warren", "The Cupboard" and "Judy and Tony".

Abel Korzeniowski scored The Nun (2018). The album "The Nun" was released by WaterTower Music on August 31, 2018, and its best-known cues by title are "Sister Irene", "The Abbey of St. Carta", "Hanging Nun" and "Valak".

Marco Beltrami scored The Nun II (2023). "The Nun II: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" arrived on WaterTower Music on September 1, 2023, with cues such as "Debra and Irene", "Crime Scene" and "Follow the Rosary".

If you want to hear how the saga's sound shifts, start with Bishara's "Dead Birds" and then jump to Korzeniowski's "The Abbey of St. Carta".

Four films in The Conjuring Universe feature songs alongside their scores: The Conjuring (2013), The Conjuring 2 (2016), Annabelle: Creation (2017) and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021). The other six films use only the original score by Joseph Bishara, Abel Korzeniowski, Marco Beltrami or Benjamin Wallfisch.

The Conjuring (2013), directed by James Wan and set in 1971, features three songs: "Time of the Season" by The Zombies, "In the Room Where You Sleep" by Dead Man's Bones and "Sleep Walk" by Betsy Brye. The 1960s rock of "Time of the Season" suits a film that opens in the early seventies.

The Conjuring 2 (2016), also directed by Wan, is set in Enfield, north London, in 1977. It features "Can't Help Falling in Love" by Elvis Presley, "London Calling" by The Clash and "I Started a Joke" by Bee Gees. In "Can't Help Falling in Love", Ed Warren, played by Patrick Wilson, performs the song on guitar in the film, so it plays as a moment on screen rather than background sound.

Annabelle: Creation (2017), directed by David F. Sandberg, is set mostly in 1955 on the Mullins farmhouse. It features "You Are My Sunshine" by Charles McDonald, a gentle tune that sits oddly against the grief of the Mullins family.

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021), directed by Michael Chaves and set in 1981 in Connecticut, has the longest list of songs in the set: "Baby Hold On to Me" by Eddie Money, "Call Me" by Blondie, "Suspicious Minds" by Elvis Presley and "Brand New Day" by Van Morrison.

Our picks: the best songs in the The Conjuring Universe films (opinion)

• "Can't Help Falling in Love" (The Conjuring 2): In my opinion, Ed Warren's guitar performance gives the film a human moment amid all the haunting, which makes it the strongest pick here.
• "London Calling" (The Conjuring 2): It fits the London setting of the Enfield story better than any other track on this list.
• "Time of the Season" (The Conjuring, 2013): A 1960s track that suits the 1971 setting, and the easiest of the three to remember.
• "In the Room Where You Sleep" (The Conjuring, 2013): The title alone suits a haunted house film, and it is the most on theme of the three.
• "Suspicious Minds" (The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It): A second Presley song in the series, and a good fit for a story about a man who is not himself.
• "Call Me" (The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It): The most upbeat entry in the franchise, which makes it a useful break from the dread.
• "You Are My Sunshine" (Annabelle: Creation): A gentle, familiar tune that sits oddly against the grief in the Mullins farmhouse.
